IGP Egbetokun Defends Police Efforts Amid Outrage Over Benue Massacre

Following the tragic killing of over 200 people in Benue State, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has responded to public criticism, insisting that the security forces are actively working behind the scenes.

Speaking on the incident, Egbetokun said:

> “The fact that one incident happened doesn’t mean we haven’t been working. For every one tragedy, hundreds of others have been quietly prevented that the public never hears about.”
